Pointing out let wing hypocrisy is easier than hitting water when you fall out of a boat so when we find an opportunity to point out acts based on some kind of consistent principle it seems only appropriate to reward them with public comment.
Reuters is referring to DOMA, the defense of marriage act, which is not an anti-gay marriage law. It does not prevent a state from passing a same sex marriage law. It is a federal law that allows states to define marriage for themselves and does not require them to recognize any form of marriage which the majority of that states residents may object to.
After two years of extravagance on the taxpayer dime. Week after week of high priced parties with expensive food and high priced entertainment. Date nights that shut down cities. Frivolous trips (in his and her jetliners complete with entourage) to various parts of the globe. Vacation, after vacation, after vacation. And despite the glamor of a designer wardrobe, pimped by the adoring media for the past 24 months, we are now supposed to be impressed by this?
"White House to Push Gun Control" "Obama intentionally did not mention gun control in his State of the Union, but aides say that in the next two weeks the administration will unveil a campaign to get Congress to toughen existing laws." Read all about it HERE. (Feel any safer now?) Not happy about it? Sign … Read more
Country’s in the best of hands! Hey! Did you see Obama’s State of the Union speech the other night? Great, wasn’t it? He really wowed ’em! (Meanwhile…back on planet Earth, from today’s Drudge Report, some headlines….) Jobless Claims…Rise Foreclosure activity up across metro areas…. Social Security now seen to run permanent deficits… $45 billion in … Read more
Obama’s tenure of power is about to
Everyone knows Good Cop, Bad Cop.
You have gruff and uncompromising on one side, and then someone else shows up sweet as pie. The goal is to get something you want that they do not want to give up.
So is Mr. Obama’s compromise on stopping a tax increase part of the good cop bad-cop formula?
Being beholden to unions causes you to say and do stupid things. Take Carol Shea-Porter for example. She was against a trade deal with Panama because she claimed it would cost American jobs, when it would actually open up trade from us to them–they already had unfettered access; result?–it would have created American jobs. Provisions … Read more
Another Obama "untruth" – from the NY bleeping Times, for golly’s sake: In speech after speech lately, President Obama has vowed to oppose a Republican proposal “to cut education by 20 percent,” a reduction that would “eliminate 200,000 children from Head Start programs” and “reduce financial aid for eight million college students.” Except that strictly … Read more
Is this guy REALLY the President of the United States? He must have gone off the teleprompter for a few minutes, because he started to go all "preacher and hipster" on the audience, throwing good grammar and a focused message out the window. You can really hear it when he goes there. Ok, now that I’ve … Read more
The Obama Administration: All the charm of Nixon and the effectiveness of Carter. Yup, it fits. I’m done.
Obama’s version of George H.W. Bush’s lie of "read my lips, no new taxes":
"Here’s a guarantee that I have made. If you have insurance that you like, then you will be able to keep that insurance. If you’ve got a doctor that you like, you will be able to keep your doctor."
That’s one – there’s tons more to come because, well, there are.
Hey, New Hampshire Democrat Chair Ray Buckley – with all of the companies now announcing that they are dropping or radically (HOW appropo a word!) altering their health benefits because of Obamacare – wouldn’t you agree that Progressive President Barack Hussein Obama did not tell the American people the truth? I can tell you that Obama’s Change has hit my family already on this point – already, doctors that were the family’s doctor are no longer.
Part of being "civil" is telling the truth – and calling a person out when they don’t tell such. Obama made a Guarantee – tell me, Mr. Buckley, how do the Democrats plan on honoring that?
November is coming – will Obama be a 2 year lame duck President? And will Ray Buckley really be returned to a minor role here in NH with the coming political tsunami washing over him and his Party?
Because the farmer said "you know how that sumbitch lies"? Bad boy, Skip! Bad, bad boy! And yet…is it not true? IS IT NOT TRUE!

Oops…has this ever happened before? Obama is such a comedian…I think it is extremely ironic that it fell off, just as he was saying, “we cannot sustain…“ I’ll take it as a sign…of impending impotence…from someone.
Now they’ve gone and presented a new case to the Supreme Court claiming that Obama hasn’t shown that he’s eligible to be President. As Chis Matthews and other mainstream media toads have said, "That’s ridiculous! We know all we need to know about Obama!" There are just a few piddling documents the American people haven’t seen, and the mainstream media has assured us that "there’s nothing there." Such as Obama’s…
Role Model – that’s what many of us are, like it or not. The Youngest paid me what I consider one of the highest compliments the other night that a Dad could ever get "Dad, I saw what you went through; you almost gave up – but you didn’t! Now I know how you feel – and I’m not giving up either"
Role models – I have been heard to say that Character is what a man does when no one is around to see him. I guess I was doing the right thing at the time – and simply did so because it was the right thing to do at the time. Little did I know that a young Youngest was watching. No higher praise can a Dad receive. It also shows that we all are role models, even a simpleton of an ordinary schlub that I am.
On the other thand, how about the most powerful person in the world: President Obama? What has he modeled?
“It is inexcusable for any Democrat or progressive right now to stand on the sidelines in this midterm election,” Obama said.
Whatever complaints they might have about climate change or other issues, Obama said, it is “just irresponsible” that some Democrats and progressives were lacking enthusiasm for the election.
“If people now want to take their ball and go home that tells me folks weren’t serious in the first place,” he said. “If you’re serious, now’s exactly the time that people have to step up.”
Why should he be so incensed – or the word that has been thrown around by both the Right and the Left – "condenscending"?
When one is a good role model, this applies: say what you mean, do what you say. And always remember that actions speak louder than words.
What is the behavior that former Obama voters are modeling?
Keeping with the promise of Obama and the congress for openness and transparency, Human Events (HE) brings us Donald Berwick. Berwick is Mr. Obama’s recess appointment to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and according to Jason Mattera at HE he’s been less than accessible, refusing interviews and avoiding public comment in the three months since his ascension to the office, despite claims that he would address concerns that would have derailed any effort to get him there through the usual Senate confirmation process.
Derailed indeed.
